Martha

(St.), patron saint of good housewives, is represented in
Christian art as clad in homely costume, bearing at her girdle a bunch
of keys, and holding a ladle or pot of water in her hand. Like St.
Margaret, she is accompanied by a dragon bound, but has not the palm
and crown of martyrdom. The dragon is given to St. Martha from her
having destroyed one that ravaged the neighbourhood of Marseilles.
